Tbf its hard to find specific things/tweets you're looking for on Twitter even if you do have an account.
At least that's how it was until I stopped logging in about a year ago. But I can still access linked content. On mobile, I just have to paste the url into the browser address bar and it works.
- masklinn 5y ago> But I can still access linked content. Yeah but it feels like navigating around gets weird if you're not logged, because any link from the direct-linked content (original tweet for RTs, comments, etc...) will navigate then immediately hide the information behind a big popup, and if you close that popup... it sends you back where you came from.
- kittywav 5y agoIt's a recent anti-pattern they added. Possible solution: replace the "twitter.com" portion of the URL by "nitter.net" and you won't be nagged by things like that.
- jkaplowitz 5y agoIt's definitely a weird and (anonymous-)user-hostile design, but here's a trick: reloading the page instead of closing the popup does load the content without the popup. (Until you navigate to the next link, of course, after which you'll need another reload.)
- tata71 5y agoTry a Nitter instance.
- yborg 5y agoMost Nitter instances end up rate-limited and are unusable at least half of the time in my experience, this isn't really a practical solution.
